It widely reported because Emerson bought the company to boost digital Transformation abilities. I’m wondering… With a huge employee headcount in Austin and two goofballs in St Louis, can’t any of them get digital transformation right? From what... — read more
Will you be fired for not telling your vaxx status
The answer is.... well.... who knows. HR certainly doesn't. I've asked. Others have asked. There is no official policy they are willing to tell us. But you better do it. Forget that it ignores the ADA. Ignore that the CDC keeps changing their... — read more
In your Opinion
In your opinion what could this company do to fix its issue's. In your opinion what can this Company do to fix employee relations?
Dec 20 deadline to submit vax status
I wonder how many people will? I wonder how many people won't?
Who here has had enough .
Who is or going to be looking for a different job after getting new vacation time at the beginning of the year. I have been told by many they are leaving because they can't handle another year of this. I know I work the floor at Emerson Climate... — read more
Can't find workers! Why?
If Management doesn't figure this out they are going to be unemployed along with the rest of us. Listen to the workers find out why and Listen to them or just ship it overseas your choice! We are fit up with this.
Reputation destroyed
Aside from people who work here and want to leave as soon as possible, people looking for work are avoiding Emerson as well. People seem to be much more informed now about what it’s like to work here than I was when I came here and made the biggest... — read more
Trouble hiring
Huh...after laying people off during a pandemic last year in order to keep profit margins high, they're having trouble finding enough people to staff 3 full shifts now in places. Actions, meet Consequences.
I'm enjoying this
I think lots of managers are finally noticing that this is a sinking ship and are now taking it out on the rest of us. After all, where else will they find a better job than here? None of them have any relevant experience or knowledge. Their only... — read more
Emerson Electric Layoffs 2022
If the economy turns around, do you anticipate any Emerson Electric layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Vaccine Mandate
Does anyone else wonder when the Covid 19 vaccine mandate will hit home? It has for other large employers.
Anyone eles feeling like the fat lady is warming up!
Feel as if the ship is sinking? Feel as if this company is just going through the motions until that call comes.
AspenTech Merger = Layoff?
Does this mean that we will have employees leaving Emerson to join the new company? Are layoffs coming for those of us that are staying put?
When to leave, and when to wait for retirement?
I don't have much time left until retirement, but at Emerson it's not certain that you won't be cut even when you're very close to retirement. There have been many such cases. How close to retirement would you stay here, and how worth is it looking... — read more
Those who can have left already
Those who can't are screwed. Emerson is not going to improve any time soon.
They think the cheaper workforce will fix this company?
Only those who do not think long-term can have such opinion. Cheaper labor unfortunately cannot fix anything in this company and way too many things need to be fixed anyways.
Layoffs coming
Heard of some layoffs in Europe and know there are others coming here. Anyone willing to let us know what those packages may entail?
Another job outsourced
And yet again someone from our location leaves and we hire their 'replacement' in another world area. Why does Fisher even bother pretending it cares about keeping Marshalltown working. Everyone is trying to leave before the other shoe drops.
Small raises are not boosting morale
I think I will get a higher pay sooner if I go to a company that will initially give me less, but in which I will be able to progress faster than if I was to stay here and wait. Is Emerson really not able to give a bigger raise to the people who... — read more
Finally Raises
Heard raises will happen in October (TBD on %). Hopefully it is over 3% (inflation is well over 5% since the last raise).
Bob Sharp
Where is that "Super Exec." Bob Sharp??? Since DNF is on the board of IBM, I thought he would have him running the company, & poaching all that EMR talent. Perhaps Pelch is also available.
Are you still trying to be an excellent employee?
The most deepest impression about Emerson is layoff. Even you're excellent, one day you will be laid off suddenly. My first supervisor was laid off at 55 years old. My second supervisor was laid off at 65 years old. Everyone will experienced layoff... — read more
Remember when you first got the job here?
In my case, that was a long time ago. I thought I would stay here until retirement but no. I will be here for a few more days, I gave notice and now I'm summarizing my impressions. A few years ago, I would never have thought that this company... — read more
Request to use vacation before October... the first shoe drops.
NP asked us to 'please' use vacation, because it would help the books look better. Who else thinks that this is the first salvo of cost reductions? Next... VSP?, more outsourcing/insourcing American jobs? Every two or three years, we ride this... — read more
What are some of the d-mbest things that happen at your location?
What are some of the d-mbest things you see go on at your location? Big or small, what do you see that just blows your mind? Employees stealing company equipment, but lower level management refusing to deal with it? What you got?
Do we really need to have so many managers?
That is, what interests me is do you think Emerson would be a much better company just to cut the number of managers? Some say that it would be because there would be huge savings, and some think that it would not, because the problems of this... — read more
Telling the truth
Let’s be honest nothing has changed. We’ve been waiting month after month quarter after quarter - nothing will ever change. Different leaders but the same games. Meritocracy is dead. Just say yes, don’t hold any one accountable, brush indiscretions... — read more
Emerson stuck in the past
Did anyone read Brooke Sutherland’s article about Emerson being stuck in the past? It was an enlightening read and one where most of the blame was placed on Farr and mentioned his disastrous WSJ article that clearly Lal is looking to distance the... — read more
Worst run Emerson division
Which division do you think is the worst run and why?
Have your skills atrophied here?
I realized how much skills atrophy here only after I started looking for a new job. I am to blame the most for what happened, of course, however, it was impossible to grow skills and work with dedication in this company where there is not much room... — read more
Safety is on the honor system
The email this afternoon told me that there is no protection from a$$hats who are not vaccinated and won’t wear a mask. I work with at least two of these people. I have asked him directly and they report that they are not vaccinated. So… What does... — read more
Free Advice
Emerson management keeps tabs on this site so here’s some free advice. Hire an outside firm to do independent evaluations of your current leadership. Just because they are hitting numbers doesn’t mean people aren’t running to leave certain... — read more
Layoffs in NC

This will not work
A lot of folks are either walking away or being cut and their positions are not being backfilled. It won't be much longer before we can't handle the amount of work - he-l, we are already struggling as it is. If we lose one more person and do not get... — read more
Has severance changed?
Does anybody know if there have been any changes to the severance package during the last year or so? I know some people were laid off a few months ago, does anybody know what they were offered? I'm worried there might have been some pandemic-related... — read more
Emerson Goes Woke
I am curious if I am the only one fed up with this woke BS that we’re seeing within Emerson? I’m not surprised at all based on the leadership throughout, but enough is enough. If you’re white, straight and a Christian you need to be on your best... — read more
